I caught a concert clip the other night of a few songs by The Bangles. Most thirtiers will know who they were, but to remind, they were the '80s all-female band from SoCal that had hits like "Walking Like An Egyptian" and "Manic Monday". I owned one Bangles album and was never a big fan, but I did think it was cool for four chicks ladies to be in a band and make popular music.
So as I'm watching the first song in this concert, the camera cuts to Susanna Hoffs. She is and was the main vocalist in the band though the other members did some singing also. As Ms. Hoffs started to sing, the first thought that popped into my head was: "wow, she's still hot!". It's the truth. In the eighties I thought she was one of the babes in popular music, and now that I see her again I think she's as gorgeous as she was two decades ago - and still has the figure.
I looked her up on wikipedia and her birthday is listed as 1959! That can't be right. If she looks like that at 50 then I'm even more impressed.
Now I'm flashing back to other rock babes of the eighties. Think that deserves a post of it's own. As images of Wendy O'Williams and Dale Bozio flash in my head, I'll touch on them later. As for dreamgirl Susanna...well done.
